[A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.  Well, there's a very simple answer.  Nobody bothered to check the oil.  We just didn't know we were getting low.  The reason for that is purely geographical.  Our OIL is located in: ALASKA, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Coastal Alabama, Coastal Mississippi, Coastal Texas, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  But our dipstick is located in the White House!

    ENVIRONMENTALISTS VS. SCIENCE
    That is an evergreen headline; here is today’s instance. The Environmental Protection Agency has banned the use of the herbicide Enlist Duo in six Minnesota farm counties. Why? The chemicals in Enlist Duo are apparently harmful to the eastern massasauga rattlesnake. Only problem: there are no eastern massasauga rattlesnakes in those counties, and never have been. My colleague Tom Steward reports:
    The Environmental Protection Agency’s latest overreach in enforcing the Endangered Species Act in six Minnesota counties “kinda makes you scratch your knot a little bit,” the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council’s David Kee says. The aggressive agency has prohibited soybean growers in some of the most productive regions of the state from using an herbicide that many rely on.
    Moreover, the EPA declined to even identify the species that triggered the ban until the publication Agweek started asking questions.
    When the EPA announced new restrictions on a herbicide in Minnesota in order to help protect an endangered species, it did not identify the species it is trying to protect.
    It turns out, according to snake experts, it may be trying to protect a snake that has not lived in the state for at least 50 years. …

    THOUGHTS FROM THE AMMO LINE
    “But there was no getting around it: It was basically a cult, though we didn’t know that yet, and like the tedious metaphor of the frog in tepid water, it happened in stages. Our main interest was stopping the Vietnam War and bringing the troops home safely.
    Remember those wacky “conspiracy theorists” who claimed that leftists and even card-carrying Communists were behind the mass demonstrations against the war? Well, I am here to tell you that – like about 98 percent of current “conspiracies” — they were right. Through a variety of innocent-sounding “front groups,” they ran the show. And I know because I was one of them. We learned exactly how easy it was for a relatively small group of hard-core activists to have influence far beyond their numbers (or their IQs). It still is today.“

    The RV Park has not left my mind. I guess the Happy Wanderer theme song did not appeal to you. Too alpine? Maybe a small pelton wheel in front turning round and round in a small human made fountain/pool. Exnay that. It would be like the fountain at the corner of Hughes Road and E. Main in front of the movie theater out on the street. Mischievous residents used to like to drop some laundry soap in there and turn it to a soapy bubble machine. That would really piss off the maintained man.
    No beat up RVs or really old ones allowed. 75 buckeroos a night ain’t nothing when you are driving $110-$120k comfort on wheels. Maybe jack the prices up during local festivals. Those kind of visitors to the Enchanted Forest RV Park don’t have to worry about the price of petro. Sure, the spot may have no shade, but it’s close to town!

Punchy heard incorrectly. Bringing in Syrian Christians who were being wiped out with only 10% of the former Christians community members still alive is racist! Punchy heard wrong. Christians, in and off themselves are not a protected group or even qualify as a recognized minority. Genocide is such an ugly word.

    “The media has lied, as they lie about absolutely everything else.”
    I was thinking about that this morning.
    From the time the war started, Ukraine had two basic strategies that I can see.
    . Cut an immediate deal with the Russians, in the long run make it impossible to invade. Not manly, but probably best over the long term.
    . Slow the Russians down and (most importantly) get the EU and the US in a hot war with the Russians. Reputation saved, God knows the total cost. This requires a propaganda war.
    How can I mitigate risk (no answer so far) and learn something from the whole deal? There’s so much brilliant work being done right now, both pro-Ukrainian and pro-Woke (pro- everything else is piss-poor I think), it’s probably time to really study the topic.
    Looking for books to read on the history of propaganda. Nothing with a POV (HOW THE LEFT CORRUPTS YOUR CHILDREN’S MINDS by Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter, HOW THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT AND ORANGE MAN USE FOX NEWS FOR EVIL by Cenk Ugyer and Rachel Maddow) as those books are always trash and end up next to the Bill O’Reilly tomes and microwave cookbooks at the thrift store.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    A funny thing to me is that a lot of books on propaganda are themselves propaganda. You can make a good argument for a deep dive into Woodrow Wilson and the US entry into WWI as most of the issues are forgotten (plus, it’s not dissimilar to our current predicament).
    It’s an area Noam Chomsky hits pretty hard, but he just too full of how things oughtta-be (like Levin I expect).
    This list seems to come up:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basic_Principles_of_War_Propaganda
    Some of that should be familiar.
    I probably should just find the Arthur Ponsonby book (Falsehoods in Wartime), but will likely end up with a library of posters as the go-to-war art can be amazing.
    It could be that the internet has changed all of this. Not just speed of spread/transmission, but computer-driven adjustments to message.

    re scene’s search for info on propaganda – I remember reading an article last year on the first uses of the actual term and the main take-away was that the term originally did not always have its modern negative pejorative aura. I’ll try to hunt it down. I did find this article concerning its history although the art of propaganda preceded the actual current word by hundreds of years.

    Not sure that all of this is much help as what I really think is more important is simply being able to separate factual news from propaganda. I’m finding the internet to be a double edged sword in that regard.
    And even then if I am successful in that conundrum – so what?

    Whoever casts doubt on our propaganda helps the enemy and is a traitorEdit
    This last principle complements all others, Morelli explains. Whoever questions only one of the principles is necessarily a collaborator. There are only two areas, good and bad. You can only be for or against evil. The opponents of the Kosovo war are thus accomplices of Milošević. Whole groups are considered anti-American, Pierre Bourdieu, Régis Debray, Serge Halimi, Noam Chomsky or Harold Pinter. The “pacifist family” includes Gisèle Halimi, Renaud, l’abbé Pierre … and their press organs, i.e. le Monde diplomatique and the PCF.
    Therefore, Morelli says, it is made impossible to give a dissenting opinion without running the risk of a “lynching process of the media”. The normal pluralism of opinions no longer exists, all opposition is silenced and discredited by fake arguments.
    According to Morelli, this procedure was applied again in the Iraq war, although the world public was far more divided than in the Kosovo conflict. Being against the war meant advocating for Saddam Hussein. The same design was used in a completely different context, namely during the vote on the European Constitution. To be against the Constitution was seen to mean to be against Europe.

    Is it propaganda or a bunch of relatively powerless, at least currently, people trying to build a case for not starting WWIII and Great Depression II over Ukraine? Maybe it’s both propaganda and case.
    You can expect a series of op-eds and reportings on how Ukraine was used as a forward base for the more aggressive part of US foreign policy for some years. In a way, it’s an attempt to justify Russian actions and the failed Afghanistan-style coup de main so it’s easy to dismiss.
    Hey, there’s a lot of camps in this sort of thing. The DNC is happy for war in that it ups the odds for holding Congress. The Ron Paul folks want to stay the heck out of all of it. Trawling through reddit and twitter tells me that the some people on the forefront of Trumphate, BLM, lockdowns, are in favor of a hot war with the Russians, maybe they just thrive on drama.
    What is best for the actual people of Ukraine (or the US) is fairly far down the list, people write their own kinks into a thing, especially things they only experience from a distance.
    To a large extent, we’re all just in the passenger seat as the corporations (and oddly, their employees) and the most excitable part of government is large and in charge.
